The Unspoken Issue Threatening to Tear This Nation Apart
On Ricochet we are not afraid to tackle the tough issues, in fact we pay for the privilege, we go at it hammer and tongs debating those crucial questions which will determine the future of our nation.
Whether it be the proper manner in which to cook spaghetti, who creates the best pizza or even the quantity of pointless comments. I hesitated before publishing this, some issues may be too hot even for our sober minded community however problems are not resolved by ignoring them so I am going there.
There is only one proper way to hang toilet paper, the correct manner is over. Under is wrong, if you believe otherwise then you are wrong.
The choice is clear, over.
This question must be worked into all future debates, I need to know where the candidates stand. This is my deal breaker.

Right vs. Wrong.
This is science, there can be no debate.
Is there debate on this? Commies maybe?
People with cats have an excuse to hang their toilet paper the wrong way.
What they don’t have an excuse for is allowing cats indoors. They belong outside eating mice, just like the farm cats did.
A dog won’t unroll the toilet paper all over the bathroom. A dog will just eat the entire roll.
EDIT: “They” above refers to the cats, not the people who keep cats indoors. People who keep cats indoors are miserable at catching mice, and generally don’t eat them when they do.
#2 picture is convincing data.
We’ve done this before (Claire started it, I swear), but here’s the only answer you need to the question:
I was worried for a second. I feared another Oxford comma cage fight.
Roberto,
So there is no room on Ricochet for the underhanded TP roller. [Nod nod wink wink] I know what this post is really about. You are a brave man.
I will pull the pin and slowly walk away on this.
Two-ply or one-ply?
Some make that argument and yes I do suspect them of being commies.
Cat people, you can never tell which way they will go.
Clearly, the science is settled, on this.
You aren’t as brave as all that, Roberto. This post is really about indoor cat people.
At least for my cats, it doesn’t matter. Underhanded just means they spin it around more and claw it up more. (If you’re lucky, you can reroll an undone overhand roll.)
For those who want to live on the wild side and believe no man should tell another man how to hang his TP. FREEDOM!!!
My cat does not play with the TP at all. Either she is well behaved, or the going outside gives her real things to chase.
Alternatively, this is how children (especially of the lazy variety) place it on the holder…
This, as everyone knows, is the proper way to hang toilet paper.
Libertarian!!!
Are you at all surprised that I roll it off the back towards the wall? Over the front is for simpletons who need everything spelled out for them.
Cats will play with toilet paper, regardless of the roll direction.
or as some have suggested, ignore it altogether.
duh.
It’s called diplomacy Ser Percival, I’m building up to the real fight: Cats vs. Dogs Which is The Clearly Superior Pet?
(Spoiler alert: The answer is dogs)
No need to dive into that kettle of fish right away, you have to work up to these things.
Well, I always thought that ‘over’ was better, because then the roll spun clockwise. As opposed to ‘under,’ which makes it spin counter-clockwise, or ‘widdershins’ (devilish). See the picture in #1.
But then someone pointed out to me that if the potty is facing the other way, on the other side of the roll, over actually goes widdershins, and under is clockwise.
So now I don’t know what to think.
Except, I guess, that like everything else, what is most important is whether you’re facing to the right, or to the left.
You should adjust accordingly.
If God had intended us to use TP, we would have been born with mudflaps.
Define “us”.
We will not have to worry about it if Comrade Berine gets elected.
Here’s a proper toilet paper holder. It should be obvious, to the most casual of observers, that it ought to feed over the top.
As for single ply vs. double ply, I’ve heard of two-ply toilet paper as being the SUV of the paper industry. I say single ply if you want to “save the planet,” two ply if your state produces paper.
Don’t you mean “the unspoken tissue . . .”?
How else can you fold the end in a little triangle if not over the top.
I don’t know why, but I’m not sure I want to take my toilet paper advice from these guys. If I recall, they don’t wear underwear, and it’s probably for a good reason, if you get my drift.
A man after my own heart. Many nights of my high school life were spent doing just that. You were no one unless I TPed you. Consequently, my house was TPed almost every weekend for two years. Mom was not amused, except for the morning she found a wallet in the front yard. One of my best marching band pals. We still laugh about this 35 years later.
